Death of Jesus عليه السلام from Hadith
Thirty ayahs of the Holy Qur’an have already been shown to prove the death of Hazrat Isa(as). There are also many Ahadith that prove the death of Isa(as), and this was the view of Muhammad(saw) and his companions as well. One has to remember that as Ahmadi Muslims, we accept the Ahadith where the Holy Prophet(saw) has prophesied the coming of a latter day messiah who would be from our ummah and have the title of Isa Ibn Maryam.
All these prophecies are not to be taken literally for the messiah of 2000 years ago who has already died. The Holy Prophet(saw) himself made it clear that this messiah would be someone else and that the messiah of 2000 years ago who was sent to Bani Israel, has already died a natural death, just as the Qur’an states.

It is interesting that the Holy Prophetsaw made it clear that the latter day messiah would be someone completely different. Hesaw states in regards to the description of the messiahas sent to Bani Israel:

“When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came he started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, “May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets.” The Prophet (ﷺ) was warning (Muslims) of what those had done.(Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Hadith #427)

Our God Is Alive While Jesus عليه السلام Has Perished
“When a delegation of sixty men from the (Christian) people of Najran came to the Holy Prophet, their chief priest discussed with him the status of Jesus and asked him as to who Jesus’ father was. The Holy Prophet said: ‘Do you not know that a son resembles his father?’ They replied: ‘Yes’. He said: A lastum ta‘lamuna anna rabbana la yamutu wa anna Isa ata ‘alaihi-l-fana’, i.e., Do you not know that our Lord lives for ever while Jesus perished.”
